This is not a game MT, its a learning experience. I don't know what you think I'm trying to pull but I assure you my intentions are only to help others...those who want to properly ID fish, obviously you don't want to do that. That's fine, I don't care. I do find it funny that you pride yourself as such an expert who can out ID fish better than all of us or the DNR but refuses to attempt a B&W sunfish but whatever. If you're afraid of getting it wrong don't be, you've been getting most of your fish wrong anyway and if you use the key you're bound to get it.
Come on people, this isen't that difficult. Teleost has given you all a great hint toward the ID of this fish. As others have pointed out it has three anal fin spines meaning it is in the Lepomis or Enneacanthus genus. Thats 15 species and longear has already been eliminated.
